A Record of Travel and Observation in the Countries of Moab, Gilead, and Bashan, during the years 1875-1877.
By SELAH MERRILL, Archæologist of the American Palestine Exploration Society.
With illustrations and a map. 1 Vol., 8vo, new edition, $3.00.
No other American is so much at home in the East Jordan country as Mr. Merrill, and there does not exist in any other language so much fresh and valuable information respecting it. The illustrations which embellish the book are fresh and original, and the style of the narrative is graphic and entertaining. The work is exceedingly interesting as an account of exploration in this field, rich in historic associations.
BRAZIL: THE AMAZONS AND THE COAST.
By HERBERT H. SMITH.
Illustrated from sketches by J. Wells Champney and others. 1 Vol., 8vo., extra cloth, $5.00.
“In this book Mr. Smith, an American, who has lived and travelled for the greater part of eight years in Brazil, gives so excellent an account of that country that we cannot regret this addition to the already extensive literature of the subject. The book is a very successful attempt to present a comprehensive picture, drawn both from the experience of the author and from that of previous Brazilian and foreign writers, of the present state of Brazil.”—London Academy.
